ASK ME ANYTHING: My Breast Cancer Recurrence + Tips, Insights and More with Samantha & guest expert Dr. Jenn Simmons

In August 2024, after 10 years being deemed cancer-free, a breast cancer recurrence hit me like a sledgehammer. Sharing on social media each step in these first few weeks from recurrence diagnosis through the first of two new surgeries, many of you reached out with questions.

In this special BONUS EPISODE -- taken directly from the Instagram/Facebook LIVE (with my friend and special guest expert, integrative oncologist Dr. Jenn Simmons here to answer even more of your questions) -- I share my honest, very personal experiences from my primary cancer diagnosis in 2014 to how I found a lump myself for the second time around in 2024 that led to this latest shocking news.

In this episode, Dr. Jenn Simmons and I will cover:

• Personal Journey with Recurrence: Raw insights into managing breast cancer recurrence through regular self-monitoring, along with the need to sometimes push your doctors for screening as well as the importance of truly listening to your body.
• Our Inner Terrain and How it Can Breed Recurrence: What to pay attention to with regard to the environment our body is creating that can allow cancer to grow and what to do to tamper it.
• Mircoscopic Cells Left Behind After Surgery: When should recurrence be a worry and how can we manage our fears?
• H. Pylori and Our Overall Gut Health: Why it matters in the cancer game.
• The Surprising Reality About Mammography: Dr. Simmons discusses the over-treatment of most women due to mammogram results, and she offers a new option that will become more readily available without the potential downsides, such as radiation, that currently exist.
• PET/CT Scans & MRIs for Detection: What is useful and what is too much or too risky? And when should we actually use these tools.
• Functional Tests that Conventional Oncos Don't Do:  Other lab and diagnostic tests to investigate.
• HRT and Breast Cancer: Can we actually use it?
• Thermography and other modalities: How effective are they to diagnose cancer early or find it at all?
• Endocrine Therapy: Dr. Jenn's thoughts on Tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors and other options for hormone blocking after diagnosis.
• Prevention Tips from Dr. Simmons: Practical advice on essential lifestyle changes to reduce recurrence risk and boost overall health, including some of her nutritional must-haves.
• + SO Much More!
